Chapter 1043: The Crossroads

Darkness.

Sheer, undeniable darkness.

Filled with such immense pain and suffering that it would instantly kill anyone who experienced it.

That was the kind of horror Karlia was currently experiencing.

Unfortunately, due to her immortality, she could not die. She was completely trapped in that hell, cursing and suffering.

'All this time... she's been suffering.'

My body trembled as my bulging eyes twitched. What I saw was too horrifying for someone to experience.

... Not to talk of someone I still cared so strongly about.

"Jared, we need to return. Legris should have started implementing his plan. We need to stop him quickly."

Hearing Kuzon's rational and completely reasonable words moved my heart.

I could sense the impatience in his tone, and usually, I wouldn't hesitate to leave for home.

"B-but... what about Karlia..?!" I whispered, my body unable to move.

"Karlia? What are you talking about?"

"She's in immense pain right now. She needs my help."
